Michael Paric is owner and CEO of Computer Business Solutions based in
Benicia, California. With a degree in Industrial Design and continued
training in computer technology he has been working with Linux and Open
Source software since 2001, creating web applications and providing
network consulting to small businesses. After a successful pilot program
installing and maintaining a Linux thin-client network for 120 students at
a local continuation High School, he refined the system and created
Canopi, a fully-managed, turn-key computer network based on Open Source
software and stateless workstations for schools, libraries and community
centers. When Michael is not attending East Bay LUG meetings or helping
local Sustainability projects, he can usually be found pedaling away the
miles on his blue road bike.

Traffic on 101 can be pretty bad in the evening, so we encourage you
to check traffic conditions before driving by dialing 5-1-1 on your
phone or visiting www.511.org, and if possible to take public transit
(best bet: bicycle via Caltrain) or carpool to this meeting.
